Napoleon's Stainless Steel Smoke Pipe Starter Kit provides everything you need to add authentic wood smoke flavor to your gas grill cooking.This complete system transforms your gas grill into a smoker without expensive modifications or additional equipment.
The kit includes a stainless steel smoke pipe designed to sit directly on your grill's burners, a fill cap for easy loading, and wood chips to get you started immediately. The smoke pipe holds wood chips that smolder when exposed to burner heat, generating the aromatic smoke that infuses your food with authentic BBQ flavor. This method works on any gas grill, making smoking accessible to everyone.
Traditional smoking requires charcoal or wood-burning smokers that demand constant fuel management, temperature babysitting, and hours of attention. The smoke pipe method simplifies everything—load the pipe with wood chips, place it on a lit burner, close the lid, and smoke generates consistently for 30-45 minutes. When smoke production decreases, refill the pipe and continue. This convenience makes smoking feasible for weeknight dinners, not just weekend projects.
Stainless steel construction withstands the direct heat of gas burners without warping or deteriorating. The pipe's design promotes optimal airflow for consistent smoldering rather than flaming, which would create bitter smoke that ruins food flavor. The proper smolder produces clean, thin, blue smoke—the hallmark of quality smoking. The stainless steel also cleans easily and lasts for years of regular use.
The fill cap allows you to add wood chips during cooking without removing the entire pipe or opening the grill lid excessively. This feature is valuable during long smokes when you need to replenish wood chips multiple times. Simply lift the cap, add chips through the opening, replace the cap, and smoke production resumes. This maintains grill temperature and smoke levels without the heat loss that comes from opening the main lid.
Use the smoke pipe for low-and-slow smoking of ribs, brisket, or pork shoulder; adding smoke flavor to chicken, fish, or vegetables during standard grilling; smoking cheese or nuts for appetizers; or any application where authentic smoke flavor enhances food. The pipe works with all standard wood chip varieties—hickory, mesquite, apple, cherry, maple, or any other hardwood. Soak chips for 15-30 minutes before use to extend smoke production and prevent flaming.
The included wood chips get you started immediately without needing a separate purchase. Once you've used these, wood chips are inexpensive and widely available at hardware stores, grocery stores, and online. Experiment with different woods to discover your favorite flavor profiles—fruit woods for poultry and pork, stronger woods like hickory for beef, or subtle woods like alder for fish.
For Edmonton grillers who want authentic smoke flavor without buying a separate smoker, this starter kit provides an affordable, effective solution. The investment is minimal compared to dedicated smokers, the results are genuinely impressive, and the convenience fits modern lifestyles. Transform your gas grill into a versatile cooking system that handles everything from quick weeknight dinners to slow-smoked weekend feasts.
